As I have told you more than once. This bug and the printing bug forced me to upgrade to 10.10. I know longer have an LTS installation. Most of the others who were faced with this issue moved to OpenSuSE.
Developers need to test with the LEAST COMMON DENOMINATOR, not the highest end possible. This bug happens for anyone with a slow bandwidth connection, which, while it may surprise you, is roughly 3/4 of the planet. Do what you want in closing this bug. It is in the LTS release and will be driving the bulk of people who try KUbuntu to OpenSuSE.
